    You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.
    Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
    The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artist’s colorful works.
    The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the ‘Venice of the north’. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century. Today ferries on canals offer a different way to explore the city.
    But to truly experience Amsterdam, you can’t miss the city’s historic museums and monuments, among which Van Gogh museum is the most famous one. It holds 200 paintings, 700 letters and 500 drawings by the artist. Another famous museum is Anne Frank’s house. Anne Frank became famous around the world because of a diary she left explaining her and her family’s experience as a Jewish girl during World War II, hiding out in a house hoping that she would not be captured by German Nazis.
    Amsterdam is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere, but it is rarely dull. Best of all it combines its glittering past with a rebellious edginess.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE of the canals in Amsterdam?
    A．They had to be rebuilt after years of use.
    B．They protected the city in ancient times.
    C．They were built to provide transport for the city.
    D．They are the main theme of Van Gogh’s paintings.
    小题2:In the passage, Amsterdam is described as a city _____.
    A．that can be explored by foot
    B．that is completely built on water
    C．that has two historic museums in all
    D．that is famous for its modernization
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．People get lost easily in Amsterdam.
    B．Van Gogh spent his life time in Amsterdam.
    C．Many Jews in Amsterdam were caught by Nazis.
    D．Taking a ferry ride is the most popular activity in Amsterdam.

    Sonoma County, California is famous for its natural beauty. The area is also known for its fruits, vegetables, eggs, and seafood. When I first moved to the area years ago, I had no idea I would be living in such a rich area!
    After the summer, local festivals practically celebrate the richness of the county every weekend. From Egg Days, Tomato Festival to Seafood Festival, Sonoma County has something for everyone. An event held every year is one of the most special in the area, which celebrates the harvest(收获) of tomatoes, showing over 170 kinds of this tasty fruit. Cooks prepare the most favorite tomato-inspired dishes. You can enjoy all kinds of food while listening to live music, and taste the world famous Kendall Jackson wine.
    Another great feature of this event is the opportunity to take part in the yearly competition with your own tomatoes. Tomatoes are judged (判断) on looks, taste, and weight and winners will be awarded (奖励). If you’re planning on visiting and want to attend this event, get your ticket early as it sells out quickly.
    This year, to celebrate Tomato Festival, I decided to plant a few tomatoes in a wine barrel (桶) that had kept a lemon tree before. The tree, after about 6 years, finally did not produce fruits anymore, so I changed to plant 3 tomato plants instead. The three wine barrel plants stand over six feet tall and that’s above the top of the barrel! They have lots of flowers and some have started to produce fruits. As usual, harvest may be late this year, but the quality of my tomatoes will be excellent. I believe I’ll realize my dream of being the best tomato gardener.
    小题1:We can know from the first two paragraphs that       .

    B．Sonoma County lies by the sea
    C．people there like drinking wine
    D．there are celebrations every day

    There are many places around the city and online to buy Las Vegas show tickets. With dozens of websites you can find at home, ticket box offices, Tix 4 Tonight (one of the two half-price ticket sellers) locations, and ticket sellers along the Las Vegas trip, you might wonder where you could find your best deal.
    Major Shows
    If you want to see one of the top shows in Las Vegas, you could buy your tickets online before your trip. Many of these shows sell out months ahead of time, so make sure you do your research.
    Best Place to Buy Discounted (打折的) Tickets
    If you want discounted tickets for Las Vegas shows, you should go to one of the four Tix 4 Tonight locations. These locations get tickets early in the morning or throughout the day if shows are not sold out. Do not expect to find discounted tickets here for the hottest shows in town such as one-night concerts or shows like Celine Dion’s. These seldom make their way to Tix 4 Tonight.
    Coupon books (代金劵)
    As you walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you are going to come across people handing out the Vegas Values coupon books or other coupons. These may help you find discounted coupons for various shows around town. Tickets bought with coupons have to be bought at the box office for the show. These are usually located near the theater used for the show.
    On-Strip Sellers
    If you see people standing on the Strip selling show tickets, make sure you avoid them. While a few of these sellers might be legitimate (合法的)，they often cheat people by selling counterfeit (伪造的) tickets.
    Catching a show in Las Vegas is one of the various activities people take part in every single day. While there is not one set place to be the best to buy tickets, make sure you get to see the show you want.
    小题1:If you want to see Celine Dion’s performance, you should buy the tickets __ _____.
    A．from the tickets sellers along the Strip
    B．through online shopping
    C．at the Tix 4 Tonight locations
    D．on the day of the performance
    小题2:What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?
    A．To introduce various Las Vegas shows.
    B．To introduce the interesting places in Las Vegas.
    C．To tell people the ways of getting Las Vegas show tickets.
    D．To tell people the advantage of getting tickets online.
    小题3:In which part of a newspaper could we find the text?
    A．Business.B．News.C．Travel.D．Sports.
